Sea Dogs shut out by Altoona

ALTOONA, Pa. — Four Altoona pitchers combined on a three-hitter, and the Curve capitalized on 10 walks to beat the Portland Sea Dogs 8-0 in the opener of their three-game series Friday.

Teddy Stankiewicz (1-3) took the loss despite allowing just five hits and two runs in six innings.

Altoona broke through against Stankiewicz with a two-out rally in the second inning. Edwin Espinal singled to center, Stetson Allie drew a walk, and Barrett Barnes drove home both runners with a double to center.

David Whitehead (2-4) limited the Sea Dogs to two singles through the first five innings. He escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the third, retiring Sean Coyle (strikeout) and Andrew Benintendi (flyout).
